Afternoon Landscapes and Night Skies Photography Tour with Carl Heilman II
August 8, 2026
August is a wonderful time in the Adirondacks. Summer breezes ripple the surface of the beautiful lakes and ponds, and puffy clouds decorate the sky. Since most of
summer’s humid days are in the past, sunsets can be quite dramatic, and nights can be clear and crisp with lots of stars and maybe a few meteors. We might photograph along some of the The Wild Center trails, but we’ll most likely travel to various photo destinations within a half hour or so of The Wild Center.
Photographer, Carl Heilman II, has been photographing the Adirondacks since the mid 1970's and has been working with digital images since 1997. He has led photo workshops since the early 1990's and has been presenting photography workshops in Brant Lake since 1997 through Wild Visions, Inc. His coffee table books on the Adirondacks, Lake George, New York State, and Maine have been published by Rizzoli, Voyageur Press, and North Country Books. His AV programs have aired on regional PBS stations, and he was interviewed for the May 2008 national PBS special, 'The Adirondacks'. His photo techniques book, ‘The Landscape Photography Field Guide’, is a comprehensive handbook about landscape photography techniques. ‘101 Top Tips for Digital Landscape Photography’ is published by Ilex Press, and ‘Photographing the Adirondacks’ is a regional guidebook to more than 200 photo locations throughout the Adirondack Park.
Carl brings over 40 years of photo experience and enthusiasm for many different aspects of photography to each workshop. A maximum of 8 participants allows plenty of opportunities for individual interaction throughout the day on the different photo shoots.
The workshop fee includes all instruction and any handouts - but does not include lodging or additional meals. Please bring along whatever you would like for food and drink through the day. The workshop begins in the conference room at The Wild Center. We will carpool as needed to photo locations.
